I thank all of you who have been so kind to leave encouraging reviews and I apologize for having left the story hanging. Work, husband and social-butterfly child have eaten my time.
Disclaimer: I do not own in any capacity any part of CSI or the characters much to my dismay. If I did, Grissom would be shacking up with Sara every night. I do admit to having an active imagination…

Carvello extended his glass to Grissom, whose glass met it and clinked. Then Carvello's glass met Sara's. Clink.
It was the second clink that brought Brass out of his trance. He looked first at Grissom and then Sara, both who wore nervous expressions. "Sara and Gil Grissom? As in Sara Grissom and Gil Grissom?" he blurted out.
"One and the same, Jim." Grissom responded.

The Sheriff shook his head and said to no one in particular, "Well, that explains the paperwork Carvello sent me earlier this week."
